It’s okay, but with the current price of gold and the huge premium the mint charges for gold pieces, it’s going to be wicked expensive. I would...
Sorry, but there a big slash down the jaw and many marks in the nose. This is a “C” grade MS-65. Toning does not look like that
They shouldn’t be. The CC Morgan Dollars are often made as well or better than their Carson City counterparts. Why should they get a grading...
I didn't accomplish paying for the sets; someone else did. I just put them together. The sets included in the 1895 Proof. Like the 1907 High...
I would net it out as a Fine-12. Yes, it has a full LIBERTY, but the eye appeal is totally lacking. It's nice find from a junk box, but not a...
I am going to break the rules and post a real wooden medal produced from pressed wood. This was issued for Grover Cleveland during the 1884...
Yes, I have done this with my Roman emperor collection. Most of the coins are raw with a few in slabs. I take pictures of the slabbed coins and...
This is another example of the mint putting shaft to the collector to please the flippers. This thing is bogus from the start. If you want to...
Your "over $300" rule for slabbed coins is not a bad one. If you heirs get ready to sell, I can tell you from experience that they will probably...
For as long as there have been grading companies, there have been “A”, “B” and “C” rated coins within the number grades. I agree with you that the...
Right now I am collecting one of every emperor to Constantine UNLESS it's one that costs thousands, like Didius Julianus. It was neat that he was...
I understand that they did that in Massachusetts with the silver coinage. When I lived in New England, dealers sometimes had cull Massachusetts...
Especially fermented grapes that came in bottles. I've read that he and friends got a lot of inspiration for his poety from the effects of...
How about this one? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] No, it's not my coin ... It's in the British Museum.
Maybe there was a reason why these guys let the lettering mush out on these coins. If you could not read the source or the moneyer, you would have...
MS-63. I see some hairlining on the reverse.
If you exclude the Proof coins that I have, which have business strike counterparts, it might be this Pan-Pac $50 round with a net mintage of 483....
The argenteus coins with the four leaders around the altar provides interesting symbolism, but getting all four of them in that format gets...
The cataloger thought that it might be Chester. Dealer Andy Singer looked at it and was not sure. The North number is 853. I have barely gotten...
Most of my reference books come from the Friends of the Liberty bookstore that my wife works with in her volunteer work. As such they are mostly...
Separate names with a comma.
